NATO calls for military containment of the Russian Federation and pulls forces to the Russian borders. The Alliance is not ready for dialogue, the Russian Defense Minister believes.
The North Atlantic Alliance is consistently pulling forces to the borders of the Russian Federation amid calls for military containment of Russia. At the same time, NATO is not ready for dialogue. This was stated by the head of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation Sergei Shoigu, writes TASS.
“Against the background of calls for military containment of Russia, NATO is consistently pulling forces to our borders. NATO is not ready for this issue today, “Shoigu said in response to a statement by German Defense Minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer.
Shoigu recalled NATO’s plan to “contain” the situation in Afghanistan, calling it “a catastrophe that the whole world is now dealing with.”
We will remind, on October 21, Kramp-Karrenbauer on the radio station Deutschlandfunk said that NATO needs to make it clear to Russia that the alliance is ready to use nuclear weapons for an early deterrent effect, so that “it would not occur to anyone to attack, for example, the Baltic regions or partners NATO in the Black Sea “.
The German Defense Minister also added that this basic NATO idea will be adapted to the current behavior of Russia.
Formerly the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation assessed the threat from Ukraine… According to Shoigu, Ukraine does not pose a threat to Russia, and the Ukrainian people are fraternal.
Shoigu also stated that Russia forms new regiments due to threats, or rather “in order to adequately respond to existing and potential challenges.”
